The Efficacy and Safety of Dalpiciclib Plus Endocrine Therapy in HR-positive / HER2-negative Advanced Breast Cancer Patients With Visceral Crisis

An Exploratory Trial of Dalpiciclib in Combination With Endocrine Therapy in HR-positive / HER2-negative Advanced Breast Cancer Patients With Visceral Crisis

This is a multicenter, single-arm, open-label, Simon's two-stage exploratory clinical trial. 18 eligible patients with advanced breast cancer with visceral crisis will enroll in stage I. If the study enter stage 2 and continue to include 53 assessable subjects (35 in stage 2). All eligible patients will receive Dalpiciclib plus endocrine therapy chosen by the Physicians until disease progression, death or intolerable toxicity. Tumor assessment was conducted according to RECIST 1.1 criteria.

4. Adequate bone marrow function. Definitions are as follows: a) neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,500/mm3 (1.5 x 109L) (14 without growth factors); b) platelet count (PLT) ≥ 100,000/mm3 (100 x 109L) (7 without correction); c) hemoglobin (Hb) ≥ 8 g/dL (80 g/L) (7 without correction).
5. Female subjects who are not postmenopausal or surgically sterile must have a serum pregnancy test within 7 days before the first dose and have a negative result, and are willing to abstain from sexual intercourse or use a medically recognized highly effective contraceptive measure after signing the informed consent, during the study, and for 1 year after administration of the study drug.
6. Voluntarily participate in this study, sign informed consent, have good compliance and are willing to cooperate with follow-up.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Patients contraindicated with dalpiciclib.
2. Patients with primary resistance to endocrine therapy. Relapse within 2 years of adjuvant endocrine therapy, or disease progression within 6 months of advanced first-line endocrine therapy.
3. Patients with more than 3 lines of prior endocrine therapy.
4. Patients previously treated with any CDK4/6 inhibitor.
5. Patients with simple bone metastasis.
6. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or known acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), active hepatitis B (HBV DNA ≥ 1000 IU/ml), hepatitis C (hepatitis C antibody positive, and HCV-RNA above the lower limit of detection of the analytical method) or combined hepatitis B and C co-infection.
7. Within 6 months before enrollment, the following conditions occur: myocardial infarction, severe/unstable angina pectoris, NYHA grade 2 or higher cardiac insufficiency, ≥ grade 2 persistent arrhythmia (according to NCI CTCAE v5.0), atrial fibrillation of any grade, coronary/peripheral artery bypass grafting, symptomatic congestive heart failure, cerebrovascular accident (including transient ischemic attack) or symptomatic pulmonary embolism.
8. Severe infection occurring within 4 weeks (such as intravenous drip of antibiotics, antifungal or antiviral drugs according to clinical practice) before the first dose, or unexplained fever > 38.5℃ during screening/before the first dose.
9. Inability to swallow, intestinal obstruction, or other factors affecting drug administration and absorption.
10. Known hypersensitivity to dalpiciclib and any of its excipients.
11. Known history of allogeneic organ transplantation or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation;
12. Known history of psychiatric drug abuse or drug use;
13. Female patients who are pregnant or lactating.
14. Any other condition that the investigator considers the subject unsuitable for this study.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
6-month-OS rate	6-month-Overall Survival rate. Overall Survival , defined as the time from the start of treatment to the date of death, regardless of the cause of death.	From the start of treatment to 6 month

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Overall Survival (OS)	Overall Survival , defined as the time from the start of treatment to the date of death, regardless of the cause of death. The OS will be estimated using Kaplan-Meier method. A Kaplan-Meier curve, median OS, hazard ratio with appropriate confidence intervals will be reported.	From the start of treatment to 36 month
1-year-OS rate	1-year-Overall Survival rate. Overall Survival , defined as the time from the start of treatment to the date of death, regardless of the cause of death.	From the start of treatment to 12 month
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)	Progression-Free Survival is defined as the time from randomization to first documented disease progression (PD) using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) or death from any cause, whichever occurred first. The PFS will be will be estimated using Kaplan-Meier method. A Kaplan-Meier curve, median PFS, hazard ratio with appropriate confidence intervals will be reported.	From the start of treatment to 36 month
Time to treatment failure (TTF)	TTF is defined as date of treatment start until permanent treatment discontinuation due to progressive disease or unacceptable toxicity. The TTF will be estimated using Kaplan-Meier method. A Kaplan-Meier curve, median TTF, hazard ratio with appropriate confidence intervals will be reported.	From the start of treatment to 36 month
Objective Overall Response Rate (ORR)	ORR is defined as percentage of participants with best (confirmed) overall response (BOR) of either CR or PR. ORR was assessed by the investigator according to RECIST version 1.1 and is based on BOR, which is defined as best response recorded from start of study treatment until disease progression/recurrence or death. The ORR will be reported by percentage with each arms and appropriate confidence intervals.	From the start of treatment to 36 month
Clinical Benefit Response (CBR)	CBR is percentage of participants with best (confirmed) PR or CR or SD for at least 6 months. PR or CR or SD is according to RECIST version 1.1. The CBR will be reported by percentage with each arms and appropriate confidence intervals.	From the start of treatment to 36 month
Duration of Response (DoR)	DoR is defined as date of initial confirmed PR/CR until date of progressive disease or death from any cause. PR or CR or SD is according to RECIST version 1.1. The DoR will be estimated using Kaplan-Meier method. Kaplan-Meier curves, median DoR, hazard ratio with appropriate confidence intervals will be reported.	From the start of treatment to 36 month
Time to response（TTR）	TTR, defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of first CR or PR. CR or PR is according to RECIST version 1.1. The TTR will be estimated using Kaplan-Meier method. A Kaplan-Meier curve, median TTR, hazard ratio with appropriate confidence intervals will be reported.	From the start of treatment to 36 month
Adverse events (AEs)	AEs were graded according to the National Cancer Institute's Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0. The type, grade and frequency of AEs will be reported.	From the start of treatment to 36 month
